Black rebels


(hego)

1° Dicembre Rosa Parks /
Signora di mezza età /
La pelle del suo colore non le consente di viver con dignità, lei /
dopo una giornata intera di lavoro è stanca
si siede sul bus nei posti riservati a gente bianca
il mezzo in fretta si riempie ma lei non si alza e l'autista
chiama la polizia per far spazio in quella 5° fila a sinistra /
la donna non fiata così non offre alcun pretesto
per farla scendere, ma viene messa comunque in arresto /
per violazione della disposizione razziale
ma si sarebbe poi invertito il tutto un giorno in tribunale /
Nixon le paga cauzione
lanciando l'appello di boicottare i mezzi alla popolazione di colore, poi /
va alla ricerca di un pastore che metta a disposizione
la sua chiesa per poter discuter la questione
la voce si sparge affinchè sia messo tutto in pratica
sermoni e volantini in ogni comunità ecclesiastica
il 5 Dicembre i neri a utilizzare i mezzi pubblici
dei 20 mila soliti furono solo dodici /
rimane la protesta a una comunità avvilita
se la libertà è tradita e in più la pazienza è finita /
386 volte ciò che avvenne quel giorno
e prese in pugno la rivolta un pastore che aveva un sogno /
capace di riunire un blocco solido
in 250 mila gomito a gomito a marciare sopra a Washington /
fu un avvenimento storico
e se il "vicinato sorveglia" sul ghetto, quel cartello ora è simbolico /
la bomba esplose e la miccia si accese lì a Montgomery
alla base di sistema nato su valori ignoblili
che va reso in frantumi come un vaso di ceramica /
perchè l'amore crea mentre l'odio deturpa l'anima
e affinchè sulla sua gente il sole potesse brillare
pagò il prezzo con del piombo nel suo midollo spinale.

Rit. (2x)

Sono lotte di massa per diritti personali
come lotte personali per diritti di massa
In nome dell'uguaglianza
o si prega o si ammazza
ma la testa non si abbassa
finchè il sistema non collassa

(Mars)

Nato nel '25 a maggio nel Nebraska
Settimo figlio di una famiglia con pochi soldi in tasca /
Suo padre predica la fuga dall'America
Parla ai neri segregati di una nuova epoca /
Sono discorsi scomodi per i bianchi in città
Lui è solo un bambino e il padre è ucciso dal Ku-Klux-Klan /
Con sua madre tira avanti ma una malattia la piega
L'intervento dello stato e la famiglia si disgrega /
Da qui l'affidamento, cresce il risentimento
Espulso dalla scuola per il suo comportamento /
Poi spedito in casa di correzione
Cerca l'integrazione ma è difficile a causa del suo colore /
Si trasferisce a Boston, il ghetto è il posto
In cui impara la sopravvivenza ad ogni costo /
Prima lustrascarpe e inserviente al ristorante
Poi spaccia droga, qualche rapina per il contante /
Beccato va in prigione e inseguito la redenzione
Inizia la sua azione contro la segregazione /
È una militanza che infoia una minoranza
Che lotta contro il razzismo dell'America bianca /
La sua voce si diffonde e infastidisce lo Zio Tom
Con minacce ed attentati si finisce all'Audibon /
Tre proiettili letali dentro al petto ed è così
Che/ muore un uomo che ha cambiato il suo cognome in X.

Rit. (2x)
